Kinfolk presents: Kinetic

“Kinetic” is the momentous embodiment of New York City-based artists Meguru Yamaguchi and Yoon Hyup. A joint effort with new standalone works that pits Yoon’s vibrant line-and-dot paintings of cultural phenomena against Meguru’s three-dimensional brushstrokes using a technique in which the artist calls Cut & Paste. The creative cohorts have masterfully produced clashing yet complementing works of art that pay homage to the endless flowing movement of urban societies, ushering a new dialogue that questions the viewers’ notion of what it means to move.

Opening Reception:

Kinfolk 90 | 90 Wythe Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11249

Thursday, May 24th, 2018 | 7pm – 10pm
